Northeast Kansas Homebirth Service

Northeast Kansas Homebirth Service offers friendly, nurturing prenatal, labor, birth and postpartum care to families in Kansas City and northeastern Kansas. With the skyrocketing cesarean rates, the prohibition of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), and the strict guidelines that make natural childbirth all but impossible, more and more families are turning to alternative birthing choices such as the safe, empowering, and enjoyable choice of home birth. You will look forward to labor & birth when you are able to stand up for your baby and your health without compromise. Fathers, too, are finding the honor, wisdom, and safety of midwifery care that encourages dad’s participation in receiving his child, as well as listening to his needs and desires in pregnancy and birth.

Natural childbirth is safest for the vast majority of babies and mothers, and the vast majority of women are fully capable of giving birth naturally, normally, and joyfully if given proper education, strong emotional support, and allowed to labor and birth spontaneously. Because a woman’s body was designed for giving birth in a timely and safe manner, medical intervention is often unnecessary and perhaps even detrimental. With a midwife who trusts in God’s design for birth, there are no forced testing or exams, and no time limits for healthy pregnancy, labor and birth.

Midwifery care should encompass a woman’s whole being— physically, emotionally and spiritually. Prenatal visits are about more than obtaining vital statistics, but in taking the time to fellowship with you and your family to understand what your needs truly are. You will benefit from a loving, attentive, “wallflower” style of midwifery, the art of invisibility at birth, respect of a mother’s space, and the use of natural, non-allopathic remedies for health & healing. With a small, personal practice, you will receive the one-on-one continuity of care that is the hallmark of homebirth midwifery. Contact a midwife today, and experience the empowerment, excitement, and enjoyment of home birth.
